Thermal Characteristics of the Old Piggery Wall Constructions

This paper presents study of the thermal characteristics of wall constructions at the older piggery object. The aim of this paper is verifying of the building construction thermal characteristics and existence of the thermal bridges by thermography method and calculation of the heat flux and thermal power in the critical construction details. Unsatisfactory thermal characteristics of the older piggery building construction there are negative because heating of this objects causes wasting of energy. Thermal bridges induce intensive heat flux and decrease surface temperature of the construction which causes devaporation with intensive growing of mildews. Moisture of the building materials causes faster degradation of the construction. Piggery environment contaminated by spores of mildews is negative for hygienic conditions of the animals and workers. The results of the paper indicate that the thermal characteristics of building construction influencing energy losses and hygiene of indoor environment in piggery.
